Mike, If your OS uses vi editor for crontab entries, these are the steps to add a cron job to 29695. Correction! I had an extra space after the second node number in the original instructions. 0 * * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 29695 *328894" 1. Select and copy the line above this if 28894 is the node you are trying to connect to every hour. A. If not, replace 28894 with the correct node number you want to connect to. 2. Open a PuTTy session into your node. 3. While in your command line, not the CLI, input "crontab -e" then hit enter. [root@Asterisk asterisk]# crontab -e 4. Press the "i" key to insert a new entry. 5. Right-Click (it will paste the text you copied) 6. Hit the Enter key. (this will ensure you do not combine two cron jobs.) 7. Hit the Escape key, then :wq (this will stop the editing then write and quit.) You should receive the message "Installing new cronjob". If you have any trouble, I'm usually on Node 29503.

I need to check my node on my repeater that it is reconnected every hour after it is used by people . I need a cron script to reconnect my 2 nodes together every hour . Where would I put this script too. Thank you: Mike N6IQY Node 27522
